The revelation comes as China’s president Xi Jinping seeks an extradition treaty with New Zealand to allow the return of Chinese citizens he believes are living here on the proceeds of corrupt activities.

Mr Little said the Labour Party was approached on a couple of occasions by Chinese people offering large donations.

“When I was party president we were approached, being offered handsome donations,” he said.

“We weren’t sure what the origin of their wealth was and we weren’t satisfied, we weren’t comfortable, (so) we didn’t accept the donation.”

Asked if he believed corrupt monies had been donated to other New Zealand political parties, he said: “It could not be ruled out.”

“It beggars belief that they wouldn’t have approached other political parties then and since,” Mr Little said.

He did not forward the details to the police as it was “only a hunch”.

“I didn’t have hard evidence,” Mr Little said.

Just like David Parker making stuff up in parliament, we now have Andrew Little doing the same thing.

But he forgets the Labour party, far from turning down money, actually took money from Bill Liu…and he did get favours like his rapid citizenship arrangement at the behest of Dover Samuels.

Then there are the Donghua Liu donations to Labour as well.

Labour sniffs some trouble around Chinese donors and so Andrew Little is looking to front foot the issue.

So here we have Andrew Little saying he had a hunch, no evidence, and didn’t involve police…hmmm..sounds like bullshit to me.

Name them or it didn’t happen.

Little is just smearing like David “Goat” Parker.

As much at home writing editorials as being the subject of them, Cam has won awards, including the Canon Media Award for his work on the Len Brown/Bevan Chuang story. And when he’s not creating the news, he tends to be in it, with protagonists using the courts, media and social media to deliver financial as well as death threats.

They say that news is something that someone, somewhere, wants kept quiet. Cam Slater doesn’t do quiet, and as a result he is a polarising, controversial but highly effective journalist that takes no prisoners.
